A practical and un-to-date introduction to every aspect of ballooning, guides the novice throughout the whole process of flying from understanding the theory to managing a smooth landing. There is a section on competitive flying, record breaking, night flying and "extreme" ballooning. Topics include: the workings of a hot-air balloon, equipment and instrumentation; practical instruction in flying, fuel management and landing; the art of retrieving; attending events and putting on displays; advanced ballooning "on the edge"; advice on air law; and an introduction to meteorology.
